Epson Printers Win Their First “Red Dot: Best of the Best” Award
Epson has won its first "Red Dot: Best of the Best" award for its large format printers in the Product Design category (Red Dot Award: Product Design 2019). In addition, five inkjet printers, one scanner and one projector model received Red Dot Awards. This year marks the third successive year that Epson products have been recognised in the Red Dot Award.
Created in 1955 in Germany, the Red Dot Design Award is organised by the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen design center and is recognised around the world as one of the most prestigious awards in the design field. A jury of experts evaluates products announced during the past two years and selects the best designs based on nine criteria, including degree of innovation, functionality, ergonomics, ecological compatibility, and durability.
Marco van Niekerk, senior product manager, Epson Europe, commented: "I am thrilled. This award is the culmination of a true team effort to achieve product value that exceeds our customers’ expectations.”
The Red Dot: “Best of the Best Award” was awarded to two of Epson’s Large Format Printers (SureColor SC-T3400 and SC-T5400). These are high-speed, high-resolution large format printers ideal for printing plans for engineers, architects and designers. Epson redesigned the printers with an unique interface identical to business printers providing intuitive functionality and a clean-lined appearance designed to fit seamlessly into a modern office environment.
